When LE SSERAFIM’s album was launched earlier this month, the b-side that appeared to seize most consideration was Ash. I feel that music’s simply superb, however feels extra indebted to its temper and soundscape than the kind of melodic pop I are likely to want. As an alternative, my ears had been drawn to the off-kilter throwback Come Over. Apparently, HYBE agrees as a result of the music now has its personal music video.

Come Over was co-written by UK band Jungle, and in case you’ve ever heard any of their work it will rapidly change into apparent. It options an old-school mixture of neo soul and funk that’s change into Jungle’s calling card. It’s an evocative sound, however not essentially one which lends itself nicely to shiny Ok-pop. Certainly, Come Over makes for an odd match with LE SSERAFIM and may gain advantage from far more vocal texture and character. Nevertheless, its ethereal sound additionally echoes present tendencies whereas carving out its personal musical area of interest.

As a music, Come Over is kind of easy and repetitive. Its important hook is repeated usually (too usually?), making it a little bit of a one-trick pony. At simply over two minutes, this trick isn’t fully exhausted, but it surely additionally lacks the event obligatory to rework it right into a spotlight. I’d counsel a second chorus — some counter-melody that briefly breaks the construction out of its monotony. In any other case, this can be a nice however inessential addition to LE SSERAFIM’s discography.
